Well since Chip said he's never heard or maybe not familiar with
the work of Marshall Tucker, I decided I need to get dat s hit
straightened up quick. So here's my take on it. The Marshall
Tucker Band is a Southern Rock Band out of Spartanburg, South
Carolina. They fit squarely in with the Allman Brothers, Lynyrd
Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels and Molly Hatchet. The two later paying
tribute to Marshall Tucker in songs. (Charlie Daniels - The
South's Gonna Do It Again, Molly Hatchet - Gator Country)
Marshall Tucker's music is pure pleasure for me. I can listen
them anytime, anyplace. I've paid to see Marshall Tucker
probably more than any other band I've seen. I've seen Bob Seger
more, but that's because he opened up for so many bands I went
to see. It's kinda weird, but not, but I actually detest
country music. The old school and new school music. But Southern
Rock is part of me. I just love it.
Marshall Tuckers music is a mixture of rock, rhythm and blues,
jazz, country, and gospel. It's so smooth and goes down the ears
so nicely. That's not to say they don't have kick @ss songs. The
boys can play. Toy Caldwell (1947–1993) was core song writer.
His passing was truly a definitive hole in the groups output. In
fact after his passing I have not followed them much. Doug Gray
(vocalist) has a truly amazing and iconic voice. Very
distinctive and compliments the southern sound. George McCorkle
(flutist), yes flutist added to the distinctive sounds they put
out. Paul Riddle (drummer) is one of the best out there. He
carried the band on some great rhythms and funky beats at times.
Tommy Caldwell (Bassist), Toy's Brother was typical reserved,
stand to the side musician that also carried a great rhythm for
the band.
Just watch this interview to show how cool, laid back and
friendly these guys were.

Cover art... not real distinctive and that good. The material
outshines the art. ;)[/center]
Despite what Wiki says about the origins of the bands name,
George McCorkle mentions the band practiced in Marshall Tuckers
warehouse that sold albums. On facing a gig in a hurry, they had
to come up with a name and quickly decided on the Marshall
Tucker Band.
So in 1973, the boys put out their first release simply called
The Marshall Tucker Band. It contains the now classic and iconic
Can't You See. One thing I want you take note of is the amazing
lead guitar duties of Toy Caldwell. Watch as he does all guitar,
including lead with just his thumb. That's Toy singing this
classic hit. Oh and that's Charlie Daniels adding the very cool
fiddle.

Another uninspired piece of cover art :-\[/center]
The second album by The Marshall Tucker Band. It was recorded in
Macon, Georgia at Capricorn Studios. Guest musicians include
Charlie Daniels and Jaimoe from The Allman Brothers Band.
This album did not produce any hits, but it still hit #37 in the
US charts. But like the first release, this album contains 24
Hours At A Time which is now is another classic that is played
at every show. It's also an extended jam and gets to show off
talents of the band members. It was captured so well on the next
release, a live album Back Where We Belong. This song is a like
a roller coaster ride. Slow, fast, then paced, then kicks @ss.

Studio / Live Album

3rd Release...
This is where the boys really got their groove and sound
solidified. Several of the songs have become must plays in
concert. It's kind of like Frampton's Come Alive. This double
live album really opened up the ears to a lot of folks.
Some of it very country sounding. Not love those songs to much,
but the other songs just have a nice blues and or jazz grove to
them.
This is a double album with the 2nd disc featuring extensive
jamming by the band and guest fiddle player, Charlie Daniels, on
"24 Hours at a Time" (mentioned and played in my previous posts.
Album two was recorded live at the Performing Arts Center in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
There are several guest artists that contributed to seven songs
recorded in the studio: Elvin Bishop - slide guitar on "Where a
Country Boy Belongs", Charlie Daniels - fiddle, Earl Ford -
trombone, Paul Hornsby - piano, organ and clavinet, Jerry Joseph
- conga, Steve Madaio - trumpet, Sam McPhearson - harp, Andy
Stein - fiddle, and Johnny Vernazza - slide guitar on "Where a
Country Boy Belongs".
